The 2012 Hospital & Healthcare Security & Safety Conference provided a fantastic opportunity to network with hospital security managers, OH&S unit coordinators, senior nursing and management staff of hospital departments. We decided to update the name of the 2013 conference to Safe & Secure Hospitals based on suggestions we received from industry.
In the lead-up to the 2013 event, held on the 24th and 25th October in Sydney, we have made some of the most insightful presentations from last year available for viewing and download.

Integrating the Key Components of Healthcare Security
Security Services, Occupational Violence Prevention and Crime Prevention are all key aspects of a healthcare security plan.
Too often we see the different components separated by service-lines or in some cases they do not exist at all.
Historically, healthcare security has been a reactive response to a known risk. Initiating Occupational Violence Prevention and Crime Prevention programs into the existing security plan can produce results.
This session will discuss the benefits of integrating these three essential components of healthcare security into one plan; the issues, the outcomes and the future direction.
